Profile:
An excellent wicket-keeper who represented Sussex for over twenty
years, Harry Butt also played three Tests on the 1895-96 tour of
South Africa. He was a short nimble man, and despite his 274
stumpings for Sussex was probably stronger standing back,
excelling at catching the ball. Well-liked, he had a high
reputation for fairness. He performed tidily in his three Tests,
letting through few byes, and making a few runs at number eleven.
Upon retirement as a player he became a highly respected umpire,
who officiated in six Tests. Quiet, firm and well liked, the
county captains asked the Secretary of the MCC to write to him on
their behalf expressing their regret when he retired. He died
less than two years after umpiring England v Australia in 1926 (DL 2000).
